You have a better plan?

Yeah, I think they know that basically the refugees are going to be met with a military (maybe that's why the fear of refugees is brewing), but I think the thing they don't really understand is that those billions actually make all the things they / we use. At some point the 1% societies get to "peak buying power" and nothing will ever cause it to go up, wages be damned.

Also, we need those wages / taxes for the military they're counting on.

Treating Hydrogen as a fuel is a problem, but it's an OK storage medium. Putting it next to Bromine or whatever is fine. I think people using it for flight or trucking is a good outcome overall, but yeah unfortunately the oil companies basically ruin all the good things.

Where were you for Theranos mate?

Do you get this uneasy feeling that people know? Like they know they aren't in that 2/3 and that they are kind of racist enough that they sort of want that 2/3 gone? Like people call it "complacency" among the 1% nations but I just got this feeling sometimes.

He was fired

He owns the business. His ownership was liquidated by the other owner without paperwork, and most of the other owners dispute that the ownership was ever diluted. The decision over whether he should have been "fired" are really upto him and the other business owners.

It's also unclear why the other employees, who may or may not have been coerced, were not siding with Kurvitz. I agree it's a mess, but there's a big gap between "feelings" and "actually grossly illegal stuff".

There are other videos on the internet about this, but basically PMG have done a terrible job here. One person is accused of serious corporate misconduct, and the others have allegations of being hard to work with, and PMG effectively treats them as equal, not even realising that the reason maybe some people were hard to work with was because of forced labour from the guy also doing the corporate misconduct.

They've just not done a great job overall here.

Sure. But they still have to dock. If you tax it in half the countries, they will still have to pay half the time.

They need diesel to run. Tax the diesel. Right now fossil fuels get subsidies. Just change that.

I really think these companies should try and split the men's and women's preferences for taste tests. There is a strong idea of meat and cheese being tied to manhood, and I have a suspicion that while men might prefer the taste, even in a blind test, they would lie about it to avoid being thought of as a "soy boy". I really do think the new age of fake meats is less about taste, and more about identity.

EDIT: I will say though, for cheese the gap is real. Personally very happy these companies are closing it, because I'd buy it.

You may not have considered the Intel Arc GPUs. Basically they were bad on Windows and are slowly improving, but unsure about their state on Linux. The cards were quite bad at some point, and well worse than an experience with NVIdia, despite the libre stack.

I would say the "best" depends on goals here. I generally encourage use of AMD over NVidia, but the difference is quite small. If you're already going with CachyOS, then you're well beyond the skill level to be able to navigate the tiny additional complexity of an NVidia card. Just buy the best bang for buck and your use case.

As for Mali, recent kernels and Mesa versions have made significant inroads. I do believe we'll get pretty good support for Mali by the time the Qualcomm ARM Laptops become available for Linux.
